For each person in your pair, describe something you learned from your partner during this project	Hannah: I learned from Jessica how to implement a search function and how to use the useEffect more efficiently. Jessica: I learned how to create a "flash" message in React and how to do React Routes from Hannah!
What was one area of React you gained more clarity on during this assignment?	Hannah: I gained more clarity about making a route in React. Jessica: I learned how to utilize useEffect and callbacks better.
Describe how you solved the problem of having lists of movies that look mostly the same but have different content	We sent a different callback to the Movie component from their containers (search/library). The Search container passed down the "addMovie" callback, and the Library container passed down the "selectMovie" callback. This way we were able to have just one Movie component that did different things depending on what page it's one.
Describe how you handled rentals with React	We used the useState hook to save selectedCustomer and selectedMovie data. Once a user selects 2 data and clicks on the make rental button, the makeRental function will be invoked. From there, it will create a new Rental and make an axios.post call to save the info on API.
Describe a DOM event your application handled	When a user searches for a movie title to add them from external API to internal API, DOM listens to the user's action and the onInputchange function gets an event.target.value from there.
Did you use any functional stateless components? What for?	Our Movie component is a functional stateless component. It gets all of its data from props and renders a single movie.
Did you use any container components? What for?	I think the Library and Customers components would be container components, because they just get all of the movies and customers, and then render the Movie and Customer components.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	I wish we could learn how to deploy API with AWS. Also, it would be beneficial for students if we could see a demo before starting the project.
